Hi L_Nicholson I would definitly see if you can demo both the kubota and the deere at your property, I done just that when I was trying to make up my mind on a deere or a case. Imho I like the two peddle system on the deere and the e-hydro is fantastic to have, it makes the best use of available hp. But of course that's only my opinion, you may like the kubota better, it's all about what you like. Just keep in mind if your money tree gets a little bare like mine make sure the tractor you pick really suits your needs and as always: make sure the dealer is going to be there for you if anything does go wrong. Either of the tractors are good, it's just that one of them will make you more warm and fuzzy than the other /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Keep us posted on your purchase, also make sure and post some pic's. Have a great week!
